This year’s winner of the House Category at the World Architecture Festival is located in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. The judges said of their selection: “This tall thin house on a narrow plot is a holistic piece of architecture…that is a simple yet elegant solution to a common problem in developing cities and offers an easily repeatable typology. It deals elegantly with issues of security, privacy, climate and light in a poetic yet economical way”. We think it is absolutely beautiful.

Wonderful post….I had seen something similar from New Zealand where they were using rows of rain gutter material to garden. They were hung in a vertical row with chains and all the smaller greens were growing beautifully. I LOVE the idea that every person can grow something, even in a city. What a great house !!
